The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting # 98 on December
11, 2000:
MOTION:
======
The UAF Faculty Senate moves to replace the current High School
Enrollment Policy with the following:
CURRENT POLICY
---------------------
High School Students
UAF offers three opportunities for high school students to enroll in
university classes: dual enrollment, the AHEAD program and TECH PREP.
For information on these programs please contact your high school
guidance counselor or the UAF Admissions counselor phone (907) 474-
7500 or (800) 478-1823, or web www.uaf.edu/admred/
admissions/docs/highschool/.
Dual Enrollment
The dual enrollment program allows high school students to register for
UAF classes. This program is open to the following:
* High school seniors with a GPA of 2.5 or above may register for two
classes for a maximum of six credits.
* High school seniors with a GPA of 2.0 to 2.5 may register for one
class.
* High school juniors with a GPA of 2.75 or above may register for one
class.
* All other students are encouraged to contact the director of
Admissions for information on course enrollment at UAF.
*High school students may enroll in vocational and developmental
courses, depending upon program requirements, after obtaining
approval signatures from their parent (guardian), high school official,
the instructor of the class, and the appropriate university program
coordinator.
Pick up a Dual Enrollment Application Form (valid for one semester)
from your high school counseling office. You must file an application for
each semester you wish to attend.
Note: enrollment in UAF courses through the Dual Enrollment program
does not constitute admission to the university.
PROPOSED POLICY
-----------------------
Secondary School Students
UAF offers three opportunities for secondary students to enroll in
university classes: secondary student enrollment, the AHEAD program,
and TECH PREP. For information on these programs please contact
your high school guidance counselor, your local rural campus, or the
UAF Admissions Office, phone (907) 474-7500 or (800) 478-1823, or
web www.uaf.edu/admred/admissions/docs/highschool/.
Secondary Student Enrollment
The secondary student enrollment process allows secondary students
to register for UAF classes. A student meeting course prerequisites
may enroll in university courses with permission of the instructor.
Secondary students must consult their appropriate school district
officials and school counselors prior to registration for approval if they
wish to use university courses to meet high school graduation
requirements.
Registering for courses at UAF establishes a permanent academic
record that will reflect student academic performance in all courses
attempted.
Note: enrollment in UAF courses as a secondary student does not
constitute formal admission to the university for the purposes of
earning a certificate or degree.
AHEAD Program
Remains the same.
TECH PREP Opportunities
Remains the same.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: This motion clarifies the process necessary
for the enrollment of secondary students into courses
at UAF and removes obstacles from students who are
eager to learn. Additionally, it allows us to treat
these students the same way we treat older students
who just sign up for a course or two. Streamlining this
process will serve to encourage participation by secondary
students who would profit from UAF courses. There are
no changes to the AHEAD Program or the Tech Prep
program.

The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting # 98 on December
11, 2000:
MOTION:
=======
The UAF Faculty Senate moves to approve a M.S. degree program in
Statistics.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 2001 or
Upon Board of Regents' Approval
RATIONALE: See full program proposal #40 on file in
the Governance Office, 312 Signersą Hall.

Executive Summary
M.S., Statistics
To properly manage the State's renewable and non-renewable
resources and advance scientific enquiry requires the careful application
of statistical methods. The creation of a master's program in Statistics
at the UAF Department of Mathematical Sciences (the only such
master's program in the State of Alaska) will help supply locally trained
biometricians and consulting statisticians for employment in Alaska.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at UAF has successfully run
an interdisciplinary master's program in applied statistics for five years,
and seeks only to formalize the program. The creation of a master's
program in Statistics will thus incur no additional costs, while the
program will supply University researchers and State agencies access to
highly qualified graduate students in Statistics.
The Masters in Statistics is meant to prepare students for careers in
applied statistics. Graduates of the program could be labeled
quantitative biologist, biometricians, quantitative geologists,
geostatisticians, psychometricians, epidemiologists or mathematical
statisticians, depending upon their specific coursework. As an
organizing principle of the program, we will ensure that all students
meet the requirements of successful employment as a biometrician for
the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and will qualify for the State
of Alaska's Biometrician register. In addition, this program will prepare
students to enter a Ph.D. program in Statistics.
The program combines core courses in statistical theory with elective
courses in statistical methodology. In addition, each student will take
electives in one or more of mathematics, biology, fisheries, wildlife,
geology, forestry, marine sciences, economics or other applied
sciences. Doctoral students in these areas may pursue the Masters in
Statistics simultaneously. The program is intended to take two
academic years to complete. It is designed to work especially well as a
joint program for Ph.D. students in the sciences.
This program has been a successful interdisciplinary graduate program
since its inception in 1996. The ten graduates of the graduate
program have all been successful in obtaining employment.
